FF_Submarine
 
FF_Submarine is a Symmetric CTF Map underwater. Teams spawn in the water below the Flagroom and must surface before drowning. There's only one other room between team Flagrooms. Flags will be on the 2nd level 5 foot extension. Below each Flag on the 1st level is a compression chamber with resupplies for anyone willing to risk it. By that I mean anyone can be trapped and killed inside, if anyone else hits the button to close the doors... of DEATH!

Pics updated!

You must really like water.

punkrockrocks 08-28-2007 04:58 AM

sounds like very interesting and crazy gameplay.

Etzell 08-28-2007 03:57 PM

Needs more feeshies.

paranoidkirb 08-28-2007 04:35 PM

The geometry looks far too simple right now.
It seems like an interesting concept though.

hey. how do you make the wires? i've been trying to figure that out.

Doughnut-4|4- 08-28-2007 11:35 PM

I got to get to class, but I'll post the rope tutorial when I get back if no one else has got to you. Regarding the level of detail I completely agree more details required. I'm upgrading that now while attempting to maintain frame rates. The biggest frustrations been the port holes which don't display water on the outside due to the graphics engine; they're either going to be black behind the windows or a custom sky if I can find one suitable for underwater.

Great video tutorial of a Lamp model on a cable with moving light physics.

I updated the pictures and you can see them above in the first post. Enjoy!

sound plays a big part in nailing the atmosphere of the map
so have some real submarine sounds.. bet u can find most with google

when someone caps play a torpedo launch sound
play a silent sonar sound throughout the submarine
some whale sounds from time to time
loud cracking/bending of the submarine cus of the pressure
have drops of water coming out the hatch with an echo sound
and maybe sound coming from the hidden engine room

punkrockrocks 09-03-2007 07:02 AM

I don't think water drips in Source. :(

BumGravy 09-03-2007 12:23 PM

no but you can fake it with custom textures

mervaka 09-03-2007 03:47 PM

dont mean to sound like a dick here, but aren't submarines all enclosed and have literally no open spaces?

own3r 09-03-2007 03:51 PM

Not if you believe films from the 60's with underwater cities.

mervaka 09-03-2007 10:31 PM

too much bioshock? :)

yep, in fact some are so inclosed that there are beds in the engine room

Doughnut-4|4- 09-04-2007 11:17 PM

For the record I'm using a large cave ambient sound like that sound you hear in the Mummy with water drips. And the compression chamber starts with a "sub dive alarm" then door slams then an "air release" and finally metal bending.

That's about all the sounds I got so far. I also have a nice music number which I'd like to start the map for people who haven't joined yet, but that maybe a technical problem... we'll see.

Reminds me of some game...

I had several influences for this map. Bioshock was one but not nearly the most influencing. I rode NEMO at Disneyland a month ago. But mostly, I borrowed from 3 Unreal Tournament maps... a submarine CTF map called November, a compression chamber DM map, and an underwater Conquest map with a sea lab theme. To get more ideas I also watched Disney's 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Finally the layout came about while I was working on another map: California Adventure Hotel. I had a nice design for a lobby, but nothing more... so that's ditched for now. Thanks for the posts.

Released ff_submarine map for CTF!

I've said it all in the first post so here it is for your enjoyment. This is the beta release. The map zip will be labeled beta but none of the files inside. If it checks out the map won't need a reissue, and I'll repost the zip without the beta label. I don't generally rerelease maps without a big reason. You wouldn't ask an artist to redo their painting. I need a server willing to host it to test her out, and some helpers. Thanks to the Fortress Forever Team and the Fans.

Awesome! I am so going to mirror this on hl2files! :D
http://www.hl2files.com/file/Fortres...rine_Map;83007

Description, readme + screenshots added. Will add the developer name on it later on today as I can't find it. And with "can't find it", I mean I can't find it at the moment so fast on the name list as I am at college at the moment.

NoPriz 09-20-2007 08:25 AM

this is jin, i messaged you on aim saying i downloaded your map and what not, should be a fun 5v map :)

Doughnut-4|4- 09-24-2007 12:31 AM

Apparently this map crashes the test server, but works fine on my computer so if anyones got issues please report 'em.
